A Thought to Share

By -
I was visiting a brother-in-Christ's site and commented on a post he had on Obama. I wanted to share my thoughts here on this post. In light of the general Christian perspective on Obama, and the election of our next presidential candidate, here are my thoughts on the matter.


If we believe in a risen Messiah who has saved us unto eternal salvation, then
we know all is temporal. If we believe that our Christ will return on high, then
we live as foreigners on earth. Knowing this, we are alive and well during the
end times, we know what the eventual end of America will be. No one elected will
form America into moral correctness or purity. It is a fantasy and one not in
alignment with the Gospel.

We have suffered through 8 years under George
W. Bush "rule". We all know what group elected him into office, America has not
gotten any better morally... proving without a doubt the manifestation of the
Word,

"That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the
power of God." -- 1 Corinthians 2:5


If any Christian is inclined to
vote, by all means vote! But do it under the power of the Holy Spirit. Do it
with the will of God in mind, unlimited by the parameters of human thought and
reasoning. Never forgetting, that it IS the will of God for Christ to reign
FOREVER as King. Knowing this will, we must be prepared to accept that His
wisdom of the next President of the United States just may not line up with
yours...

Keep your eyes heaven-ward for it IS nearer than when we first
believed...

In the love of Christ,
Hannah

    Amen!

    Indeed, it is true that it is never safe to solely rely on the wisdom of men, but to always look to Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Thus, allowing this mind to be in us, which was also in Him! Jn. 14:6; Phil. 2:5

Confessions of a Former World Wide Church of God Member

By -
Now some of you may have heard of The World Wide Church of God. For those of you who haven't here's a brief, basic, summation of WWCG, as described by Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia : "The Worldwide Church of God (WCG), formerly the Radio Church of God, is a Christian church currently based in Glendora, California , USA. Founded in 1933 by Herbert Armstrong as a radio ministry , the WCG under Armstrong had a significant, and often controversial, influence on 20th century religious broadcasting and publishing in the United States and Europe, especially in the field of interpreting biblical end-time (eschatalogical) prophecies. However, within a few years after Armstrong's death in 1986, the succeeding church administration, led first by Joseph W. Tkach, Sr. and then his son, Joseph Tkach, Jr. , examined and changed the doctrines and teachings of which the WCG held fundamental differences with more mainstream Christianity. Many members and ministers left the WCG to

The Law of Sin and Death

By -
A relative and I were having a fascinating discussion about sin. He made a statement that rang very true to me. "So many Christians are obsessed with sin". For a long while, since reading other posts and forums about sin, I've been dwelling upon and studying about that matter. Although I've been compelled to analyze the subject by post, I haven't felt prepared to do so. As you all know, I'm experiencing a trial that proves to be a continuous battle for my faith. It has been a trial which continues to manifest the truth of Scripture, the Word of God, to my soul. It is during hard times such as these when the Glory of God is a sight to behold. And His goodness, a pleasant taste! "O taste and see that the LORD is good..." Psalm 34:8 Why do we obsess with sin? Either of our own or those of fellow Christians? Has Christ not set us free from the law of sin and death? "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of

Translation vs. Paraphrase

By -
Up until about four years ago, I studied primarily out of the New Living Translation. It was simple to read and I was comfortable with it. However, I did notice through out my studying in that specific translation, that passages just weren't making any sense. My husband preferred the King James Version and studied out of that, our studying together almost always ended out of the KJV version for the simple fact that the NLT was not adequate in conveying some of the principles of the Word. My husband, at that time worked for Tyndale House Publishing (which publishes the NLT version) gave me a Bible published by them called "The People's Parallel Edition". This edition had the KJV and NLT side by side. It was only then I began to see a true difference between translations. Romans 8:1 in both of these versions comes out different. Romans 8:1 KJV says "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
